I have had the kit on the car since April and have about 15k miles on it. I am very pleased with it, although the 110F temps here in Arizona really effect the efficiency. I am working on getting cooler air into the filter location (where the battery used to be) - should drop my initial air-charge temps by about 50F and result in a 40-50F decrease in the post IC air temps.

I recently replaced the ELF piggy-back (provided by SOT) with a Greddy Ultimate. This has improved boost transition and gives me the ability to pull timing (a real requirement given the before mention temps).

I had a couple of custom size crank pulleys made to play around with the boost levels - but will likely wait until is cools down before I actually test them out. Will also be installing larger injectors at the same time.

 

thats a lot of driving...I've had my Vortech for 2 years now and only put about 19k miles on it so far.

 

The biggest chunk was driving to the Dragon from AZ in April (less than 3 weeks after installing the kit). 6k miles in about a week.

To your other Q - SOT is working out a distributor plan with a couple companies, then the kit should become available.

 

do you remember the post in which the guy
moved the fuse box into the fender?

would that give you some room?

 

That is one option I am looking at.

The other option I am looking at is to put a NACA duct in the hood to bring cool air into the filter area - and fab up a heat-shield to keep some of the radiated heat off it.

If that does not work I am thinking of actually putting the filter inside the fender area.
